A Contracted Affair. Ninety one
Tristan pov After having a conversation with my mom that day, things started getting better. The house that seemed dead was slowly going back to how it used to be. Suddenly Lyla disappeared again, she stopped calling and also stopped visiting. I wasn't surprised because the Lyla I fell in love with has never been a persistent person. I decided to stop running away from Adriana and just embrace a good relationship with her afterall I didn't need to hold unto my promise to Lyla since she isn't dead and I hope she finds a good man too. I stood up from my office sit and headed back to the house. While I was in the car heading back home I had a lot on my mind so much that I didn't know which one exactly to pick out from my thoughts. We finally arrived at the house and I walked in at the right time. “Were you guys about to have dinner without me?” I asked them excitedly and sat on the dining chair, the silence was awkward, my mom and dad were not smiling and the smile on Adriana’s

Tristan povI stared at Lyla for a while after hearing the question she asked me, she looked me dead in the eyes waiting to hear what my reply would be. “Stop it Lyla!” I yelled angrily and walked away. Yes I have loved Lyla all my life until she turned into a different person entirely, she was no longer the Lyla I fell in love with and she even went as far as doing things that made me want to hurt her sometimes. I lived with her even though I didn't know who she was anymore, I hoped that one day things will change and she will once again be the woman I was once madly in love with be with. I guess I hoped for too much. I walked to the pool area and paused Walking with my hands on my waist. “Argggh!” I screamed eamed angrily. I was too upset and I was trying to call myself before I lose control. My eyes were red, my hands were trembling. I hated myself and I hated the things I did. I should have told her back then that she was becoming scary but I thought her death would end everyt

Adriana povFrom when i got married to Tristan I began to realize that there was something different about him, he always talk about how much he loved Lyla but there was just something weird about it, I washt sure until today. The way he grabbed my hands and the smile on his face was nothing I have ever seen before from Tristan, he used to always have this dead gaze that made me wonder if it was Lyla’s death that made him like that or there was something else.Tristan stopped by the highway and we both got out of the car to get some fresh air. “I feel alive again.” Tristan said and we both laughed out, it was weird because I've never seen this side of Tristan before, he looks so happy and I could see it in his eyes that he's genuinely happy. We both stood there for minutes before going back to the car, I thought we were going back home until I noticed his car wasn't moving towards that direction. “Where are we headed?” I asked him, Tristan turned to look at me and drove away, I wa

Chapter 94Tristan povIt's been three days already and it's the most I've been happy in a while, leaving the house was a good thing actually. I wonder what's going on in that house because my phone has been switched off, I also told Adriana to turn off hers so no one can reach us till we're ready to return home. I opened my eyes looking up as I was in deep thought. “Good morning.” Adriana walked into the room with a bright smile on her face, I really wanted us to stay in same room but Adriana looked like she was not comfortable with such idea so I didn't push it too much, I just allowed her do what she wanted.I let out a soft smile and sat up on the bed. “You look so excited.” I said to her with a smile on my face. “Yes, I am. This place is so peaceful,” She said to me with a smile. “Let's stay here forever.” I said to her. Suddenly her smile was slowly fading, I wonder why the smile was fading after she heard what I said. “You might have forgotten we're together because of th

Tristan povI can't believe that Lyla will go as far as an exclusive interview just to get back with me. Listening to the interview made me realize she was after Adriana, not me. I couldn't think of what to do fast, I kept pacing around the sitting room with my hand on my waist as I was thinking hard. “Why will she do such a thing?” I asked myself still pacing around. When Adriana nawakes up she might want to use her phone, what do I tell her, how do I stop her from using her phone till the news dies down. “Lyla you went too far this time.” I said angrily and picked up my phone to place a call across to Lyla, I tried calling several times but she was not picking up, I knew she was avoiding my calls intentionally. “Pick the damn call.” I yelled angrily and threw the phone on the couch. Then I realized it'll he better to kill the news faster so that by the time she's with her phone the news would have field down very well. I picked up my phone and decided to make another phone call,

Adriana povI was in the room trying to sneak through my phone to see whats going on and then off it immediately. I thought really hard before doubt it, so much that I almost forced myself to sleep so that I don't turn on my phone but I couldn't, I had to turn it on and see what going on out there and also know how my mom is doing.I turned on the phone and surprisingly messages were coming in which made me wonder what's going on. “Why am I still in this chat room?” I asked myself when I realized I was still in my high school chat room and they couldn't stop sending messages, I wonder what they were talking about. “Oh no.” I muttered when I mistakenly opened the chat room messages. I opened my eyes wider than normal when I found out I was the topic of their conversation. I don't understand what's going on. Then I saw a video that was sent to the group, I hesitated before opening it but I was curious to know what's going on and why they're talking about me like that. I watched the

Adriana pov Listening to Tristan sound so sweet made me so happy that I might get too greedy later. I looked at his face very with his hand on my hand, I really wanted to know what was going on in his head and why he was sounding like this all of a sudden. I let out a soft smile without saying anything to him because I was too puzzled to say anything to him. We were both quiet for a while, which seemed awkward. Somehow it felt like he was confessing his feelings to me but I chose not to think too deep about what he said to me because I might become delusional. “Let's go eat.” Tristan said to me and I nodded my head immediately and headed to the dining with him to eat. I was confused seeing too much on the dining, it wasn't long ago when we are something so I don't know why we are eating so much again. “This is a lot.” I said to him and laughed, I was trying not to make the atmosphere too awkward, and I could tell Tristan was feeling bad for making me feel uncomfortable. “I t

Chapter 98Tristan povThe Interview that Lyla did was really working for her because it is about to make me lose a foreign contract. I couldn't believe it when I first saw the mail because it was something we already settled on and all of a sudden they went out. I decided to leave my hiding place and go back to reality where I stopped. I felt it was too sudden and thought really hard about it but I came to the conclusion of leaving because there's a lot of money at stake. I didn't have enough time to think of how Adriana would feel when she hears that were leaving, “She might be upset.” I muttered to myself feeling confused. I stood up from the bed after thinking for a while and dressed up. I had to dress up to send Adriana the signal that something urgent came up and we have to leave. I don't know how she'll feel about it but at this point I needed a quick decision.While we were dining , Adriana asked why we were leaving all of a sudden but I couldn't give her the full context be

It has been a rough time for me and I felt that was my punishment for not being a good daughter. I Knocked on the door twice before my mom finally opened the door. We both stood staring at each other for a while as year's welled down my eyes, even though I struggled not to let it fall, it was beyond my power, its not something I can do. “Look at my baby girl.” My mom said to me and hugged me, I don’t know maybe she was pretending not to know what’s going on or she was truly not aware of everything. I carried my boxes inside the house and sat on the couch. Living in a mansion 7months made me see my house differently, that’s why the rich never live in such apartment it’ll

I always dreamt of a time when things would go so smoothly for me, I keep telling Tristan that the heavens wants us to get her. I hope this will prove to him that I was right after all.I heard from the doctor that the complication was too much and she must not be able to make it out alive so he had to pick between the two. I was a little hurt because Tristan picked her to survive. If he had let her die, things would have been a lot more easier. Just when I thought the fun was over I got the news last night that Adriana left the house, she said her final goodbye when the family was having dinner. I was so happy by the news that I didn't know what to do had how to express my joy so I ended up throwing myself a party. “Today will be such a good day.” I muttered to jyseif with a glass of wine with me, I found myself missing Diego, he would have been here with me celebrating my wins but he just had to go and be

Chapter 119Tristan povI was in the kitchen making myself coffee when I heard my phone ring, surprisingly it was my P.A.“Why is he calling? How didn't I tell him I want to stay away from work for a while?” I hesitated before I finally picked his call. “Why are you?” I was about to vent when I heard what he said to me. “What are you talking about?” I asked to confirm if what I heard was correct or I was already hearing things. I was left dumbfounded when he confirmed what he said to me, I can't believe Lyla went through my belongings when she was here. “I'll go see how things are on the internet.” I said to him and ended the call. I felt like my heart was sinking just thinking about what will happen after the news has been exposed. Then I suddenly remembered mom and dad might be with their phone. I stood up and rushed upstairs so that I could get to them before they saw the news. The moment I got to the room I sighted my mom with her phone, she looked startled with her eyes open

Chapter 118Adriana povI stared at Tristan for a while but he was not saying anything to me, he just looked like he was struggling not to cry. “Pls talk to me, what's going on? And why am I here?” I asked Tristan whilst I was still looking at his face. Tristan face could already make it obvious to me that there's something wrong but he's not ready to talk to me about it. “Hey, what matters the most is your health, you need to get better first.” Tristan said to me trying to avoid the question I asked him. I could already figure out from the way he was behaving that there's something wrong but no matter how many times I ask he's not going to answer me. I turned facing the other side of the flom so that Tristan will know that I'm upset he's lying. It's very obvious that he was avoiding the truth and no later what the problem is I know that I deserve to be told the truth. Time was slowly fading and I was still in the hospital. Still wondering why I'm laying on the bed, Tristan has no

Chapter 117Adriana pov“Hey.” I said to Tristan when I sighted him sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee with him. He turned to look at me and smiled. “How are you doing?” He asked me with a brother's smile on his face. It’s been a while since Tristan stayed long at home, so it was kind of weird having him at home today.“I’m doing great.” I replied to him excitedly and sat on the couch beside him. Tristan looked like he was very invested in what he was reading so I didn’t think it was the right time to talk to him about what happened yesterday.We were both quiet for a while, I was still sitting there thinking of how to start the conversation but I couldn’t think of any better way to bring it up. “Lyla was here.” Tristan paused what he was doing the moment he heard what I said, don’t know if my tonight was right but I just had to say something to him. “Was she allowed inside the house? I remember warning them not to let her in.” He said to me looking very worried, it felt goo

Lyla povI stormed into my car and drove away when I realized no matter how long I stand there I will not be allowed to enter the house. I hated myself so much for coming in the first place, I should have listened to my instinct when I thought of not coming. I hit my car several times angrily and rested my head on the car stirring. I hate this feeling so much. “I hate Tristan.” I muttered to myself struggling not to cry because as much as I wanted to blame Tristan I also realized that somehow I am to blame for what’s going on, if I had not left the house that day, things would have been very different from what it is right now. I picked my phone to place a call across to Diego, then I remembered our last conversation, I realized that calling him will not be a good decision so it’s better I don't do it. I started the car and drove away. After a long ride I stopped at my favorite bar and walked in, my sim was to drink till I couldn't move anymore, I just needed to clear my head from

Chapter 115Lyla povI can't believe that after we agreed on keeping it a secret Adriana ended up posting it on the net, I told my tech specialist to check who uploaded it and the moment I find out that Adriana uploaded it I'm not going to let her get away with it, I'll make sure to teach her the biggest lesson of her life. “I'll sure make her pay for making me go through so much.” I muttered to myself as I was pacing around the room. I couldn't stop thinking of a way to stop the rumors from spreading even wider, because the news seems like the rumor is about to stop and it gets even worse. I picked up my phone after reading a very horrible comment about me that was posted. “What is taking you so long?” I shouted at the young man angrily because based on discussion he's supposed to be done closing the news that was spreading, he keeps saying he's doing something but he's not doing anything. I was totally losing my cool and I feared that's what Tristan and Adriana wanted. I picked

Chapter 114 Lyla povI can’t believe that I was already losing to those two, they have turned me into a pawn that they can talk to anyhow they like and anytime they want. The last conversation I had with Tristan hurt me so much that I really wanted to punch him in the face so that he could feel the same pain I was feeling.Earlier today I met with Doctor Alice, she is my very good friend and we became friends when I was married to Tristan.“It’s been a while.” We said to each other with a smile on our faces. She liked me because I was calm and sweet and I’m going to be the same way here too, I’m going to be calm and sweet in her presence.“I was on Coma for years and I missed out on a lot of fun and even my husband. I said in a very low and pitiful tone, then I decided to start acting emotional so that I can gain her pity before saying what I want to say to her.“I’m sorry, it’s just that life has been really hard on me.” I said to her and wiped my tears. Doctor Alice felt pity toward
